New Des Moines House Sit (12/13/23-12/17/23)

Last Wednesday, Bob and I left Bob’s sister’s house where we had been staying since our last sit to meet up with our new homeowners in Waukee, Iowa (suburb of Des Moines) for a walk through, dinner, and a stay overnight before their early morning departure for Oregon. We had a great visit, met the adorable Bebe, and learned the ins and outs of the home will be staying in until 12/20/23.

We had some time to kill before we met the homeowners on the 13th, so we stopped at the local library and found a photo op for Bob.

Most of our time in Des Moines has been spent on errands and catching up on doctor visits. However, the other day we made a brief visit to drake University where my sister had gone to law school.

Today, Saturday, we drove back to Bob’s sister’s house to spend a couple of hours with her family, including our nephews and their partners (one wife, one new fiancé), and our great nephew, and we do think he is pretty great.
